Short Review - Feisol CT-3371 Tripod
I attended the Glacier Shootout in 2007 with what I thought was an adequate tripod and ballhead. And, up to that point in time, it was more than adequate. But, at Glacier, the wind never stopped blowing. Between the wind and the lack of a good tripod, my keeper rate from the shootout was very disappointing. What really… -

Renewal looms...never got reply to power/watermarking issue
OK so my renewal date is fast approaching (June 23) and it's time to make the decision... Drop to Power as I no longer shoot events as I used to.

It's cold in Yosemite
I spent most of the Christmas holiday within thirty miles of Yosemite so my son and I just had to make time to get down to the valley floor to see how much snow there was and to field-test the new lightweight tripod Santa brought me.

Get That Tri-X Pan Look
Hello everyone, I recall fondly the days when I used to develop my own film, and make my own prints in my basement darkroom.... I'd spend hours in there... talk about post-processing! wow. About a month ago, I found a box of old prints that I'd made when i was a kid, and I thought - how cool to create this today, in the… -
